I am pained :



. Is there a way to raise awareness about abuse and crime without actually causing its level to increase in the society?

. Is there a method of education which can possibly address the cause and the effect simultaneously?

. Why is it ok to witness rape and harrasment on big screens and not ok when it happens for real?

. Why does it hurt when someone passes a sexually explicit comment on the road passing by but is quite acceptable when the hero on the big screen does the same to the heroine?

. Why is it okay to play/ perform item songs depicting women and girls as objects of lustful desire on wedding ceremonies (one of the most beautiful bonds granting value to both men’s and women’s lives)?

. Why is it logical to glorify and sensualise women in banner ads and billboards 24/7 and still expect people to lower their  gaze?

. Why is it okay to raise hue and cry over rape every now and then without addressing the power hungry, pervert nurturing societal trends which raise rapists every day?

. Why is the sexual connotation of love so rampantly used and abused in every single mode of communication?

. Do we have no other problems in this world like poverty, war and apartheid?

. Are we worse than the animals now that we focus on the worst means to address our carnal desires?

. Do we have no other purpose in life but to eat, spend and sleep?

. Does love have no other meaning to us than the deplorable version offered to us by the commercial media?

. Don’t we love God anymore? Don’t we realise there is a God?

. Is it a mere coincidence that when the biggest powers of the world get busy in war, destroying civilian lives,  we are still busy discussing entertainment and vacation possibilities?

I am pained , very pained over Asifa, over Zainab and many others like them.

I am pained over Syria , over Rohingya, over Yemen, over Kashmir, over Palestine.

I am pained over those jailed around the world without trial.

I am pained for the huffaz who got killed by a bomb on their most important day of life.

I am pained over our wilful forgetfulness!

For Allah, for Akhira and for the eternal.

The truth unveiled!

VALENTINE’S DAY The truth unveiled 'Every deen has an innate character. The character of Islam is modesty.' Al Muwatta 47.9 HOW IT STARTED: Like most Christian festivals, the origin of Valentine’s Day also lies in the pagan Rome. In ancient Rome young men and women used to celebrate this festival where the women would write love letters and throw them in a huge pot. Then the men would choose their partners through lottery and would court (relationship before marriage) the girl whose letter came in their hands. (Webster’s family encyclopedia). According to the encyclopedia this festival has no direct or indirect link to the life of Saint Valentine (269 A.D). To make Christianity more popular and acceptable among the pagan masses, the Christian clergy added this festival to Christianity by celebrating this day as Saint Valentine’s Day. The myths regarding Saint Valentine giving his life for the sake of love and others are all false. WHERE DO WE ST...

محرومی سے پیدا ہونے والے منفی رویے

محرومی سے پیدا ہونے والے منفی رویے: محرومی، انسانی زندگی کی ایک حقیقت ہے اور اس حقیقت کو جتنا جلد سمجھ لیا جائے اُتنا ہی جلد انسان ترقی کی منازل طے کرتا ہے۔ اس کو نا سمجھنے سے جو رویے انسانی شخصیت کا حصہ بنتے ہیں وہ بہت ہی زہریلے ہوتے ہیں جنھیں آج کل ٹوکسیسیٹی یا ٹوکسک بی ہیویرز کہا جاتا ہے۔ یہ زہر مقدار میں تھوڑا بھی ہو مگر وقت کے ساتھ ساتھ مہلک اور جان لیوا ہو جاتا ہے۔ اسی لئے بروقت سدباب اور چینلنگ (channeling ) بہت ضروری ہو جاتی ہے۔ محرومی کی وجوہ اور علامتوں پر ہم بعد میں غور کریں گے ۔ سب سے پہلے یہ جاننا ضروری ہے کہ محرومی انسان پر منفی اثر کب کرتی ہے۔ جی یہ ممکن ہے کہ محرومی انسان کی طاقت بن جائے مگر یہ بھی ممکن ہے کہ یہ اُس کی تباہی کا سبب بن جائے تو دراصل محرومی محض ایک حقیقت ہے جس سے پنپنے کے طریقے اس بات کا تعین کرتے ہیں کہ یہ مثبت ثابت ہوگی کے منفی۔ اگر انسان اس سچائی کا کلی ادراک کرلے کہ محرومی مخلوق کا مقدر ہے اور یہ کہ تمام قسم کی محرومیوں سے پاک صرف ربِ کائنات کی ذات ہے تو پھر رویوں کا رخ خود بخود درست نہج پر چل پڑتا ہے ۔ توحید پر ایمان اس بات کا متقاضی ہے کہ...

On Cue:

On Cue:  Reality and illusion .............................................. When the Pharoah challenged Prophet Moses (AS) to a contest of power with his best magicians Allah actually revealed to humanity the reality of deception and the fallibility of human vision and perception.  He assured Moses (AS): (20:68) We said to him: "Have no fear; for it is you who will prevail. (20:69) And throw down what is in your right hand; it will swallow up all that they have wrought. They have wrought only a magician's stratagem.  A magician cannot come to any good, come whence he may. ” In the dicipline of psychology there is a phenemenon labelled as the “phi   phenomenon” or simply put a visual closure. It explains the natural response of human vision to a visual stimuli. The response lasts longer than the stimulus thus extending the actual experience. The co ordinated movment of lights on a dance floor or the continuous flicker of bulbs in a string of decoration lights of...
